Cloth Fairy Doll

During the month of February I was busy making a cloth fairy doll. Her bright rich colors in her costume remind me of the Purple Tiger Lily (which should be her title I suppose).






                                                     

Here are a few Works In Progress photos:





Her sweet heart style bodice is made of dupioni silk and embellished with hand picot beading with glass seed beads along the top

 The skirt is made of a sheer organza like fabric with silk overlay that was embroidered  in place along with glass seed beads. Quite time consuming but worth the effort.


. I gave her a pair of purple glittery tights and of course a pair of fairy slippers with free motion embroidery stitching.


The wings were made with Angelina Film and look completely different depending on the background color.

Thank-you Chip Butter (Mary). The stitching took quite some time.
